Progress on suspension. Made upper spring/shock mounts from 1/4" thick 6" wide flat bar. In the front, tubing comes up from the subframe to a brace that will bolt in place. It will be removable to extract the struts without separating ball joints and tie rods.

The brace will be clamped in place temporarily to determine proper ride height.
Once determined, a flange nut will be welded into the top of the trimmed off tube. Will also weld a plate over the 1 1/2" hole thru which the bolt will go.

Heated and bent the ends of the tubes to match the strut angle

Started on the rear supports also. Mostly done, just need a couple of gussets.

The supports are out from under the car. The front is on its wheels and the rear in on a floor jack waiting for the gussets.
